Loudoun Water only accepts domestic septage, chemical toilet waste and wastewater treatment plant sludge that are generated in Loudoun County and comply with all local discharge standards. Septic and wastewater treatment plant sludge haulers must hold a current Hauled Waste Discharge Permit to use the Septage Receiving Station. To obtain a Hauled Waste Discharge Permit, haulers must send a request to pretreatment@loudounwater.org. A link to the DocuSign application with instructions will be provided via email.
